New Scandal


We have become immune to the word 'Scandal.' We see it everyday on the billboards around town and on every second headline on the news. This politician, or that actor. A sports star or a musician. A church leader or a teacher. Scandal after scandal after scandal.

With all this happening around us, we have become numb to the greatest act of love of all time - the life and death of Jesus Christ, that became a 'Scandal' in his time. The fact that a King would die in place of his followers was totally unheard of - it is almost scandalous to suggest that this would happen. But it DID! And through the love of God we are given a opportunity to be part of God's family again.



John 1:12 - Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.

"Grace, what have you done?

Murdered for me on that cross
Accused in absence of wrong
My sin washed away in your blood
 
Too much to make sense of it all
I know that your love breaks my fall
The scandal of grace, you died in my place
So my soul will live
 
Oh to be like you
Give all I have just to know you
Jesus, there's no one besides you
Forever the hope in my heart..."
- Hillsong, Scandal of Grace
